This month is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month, and this Monday, October 15th, it will be Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. In 2016 and 2017, Michael and I have spent this day with the pregnancy loss community in a balloon release.

When I lost my first daughter, the story of David and Bathsheba came to my mind. It's one of the few actual pregnancy/infant loss stories that came readily to my mind. There are a lot of infertility stories, but not so much pregnancy loss stories in the Bible. Of course, this isn't always the greatest… Continue reading Comforting: David’s Story→

The day this post goes up will be the two year anniversary of my second daughter's stillbirth. It's the first anniversary to hit since my son's arrival. And my mind has been in serious contemplation mode. It's strange because right now, I'm watching my son grow before my very eyes. Every day has been different. … Continue reading Looking Back, Looking Forward→

One year ago today, my second daughter was stillborn. There isn't really much I want to say today, but I wanted to share with you three songs that popped up consecutively on YouTube on Monday that I really needed to hear. https://youtu.be/i1KXzb37shE Oh, my soul You are not alone There's a place where fear has… Continue reading Anniversaries→

I was kinda hoping for another positive test this Good Friday as well, but that didn't happen. Last… Continue reading Easter and Expectation→

This past Saturday was the second anniversary of my first daughter's stillbirth. And the day before Thanksgiving was when my second daughter, who passed away in August, was due. I wanted to take a moment, on this blog, to remember both of them. I don’t have a lot of memories of my daughters. I don’t know… Continue reading Remembering My Daughters→

The month after my daughter died, I focused on physically healing. I took the steps I knew I needed to take in order to get healthy or at least put myself on the path to becoming stronger and healthier. You all were there for me, with encouraging words and kindness, and it held me up… Continue reading Grateful Encouragement→

This past Saturday was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Michael and I decided to do something different this year, and we participated in a walk hosted by Hope Mommies of Dallas, a pregnancy and infant loss support organization. There were so many people there, honoring their little ones. We saw friends from church who… Continue reading A Walk To Remember→

But on this Saturday, many parents will come together with their communities to remember the children that they have lost. Some will attend events hosted by support groups, while others… Continue reading Feeling Alone→
